As Tonda of the Town of Chittenango in said State, late a Lieutenant and Adjutant in the Army of the Revolution, and a pensioner under the act of 7 th June 1832, do hereby Certify, that I was in the time of the Revolutionary war, and am now inti- mately acquainted with Ellis J. Tonda named in the annexed papers as an ap- plicant for a pension under said act. I have personal knowledge of part of the services of said Ellis J. Tonda during said war. I know he was a captain of a company of minute men as set forth in the affidavits accompanying this my certificate that it was very notorious and universally known that said Ellis was such Captain & served as such on every occasion of an alarm of the approach of the enemy, and was dis- tinguished as a brave & meritorious officer. As I served in campaigns from those engaged in by said Ellis, and was nearly all the time attached to different corps, it is of course out of my power to specify the different terms of his service other than those I witnessed myself, & these were as follows.
I saw him on duty in his capacity of Captain as aforesaid in General Gates's camp during the Northern Campaign of 1777 and am certain he was there on duty at least two months and verily believe he was there for a much longer time. In the year 1778, he was on duty

2 1 3 at the Garrison of Fort Paris in Stone Arabia for at least one month.
I remember seeing said Cap- tain Jellis J. Fonda on duty with the Militia of Colonel Abraham Wemple's Regiment at Canada Creek & Johnston on the occa- sion of the battle of Willett's troops with the enemy under Major Ross & Walter But- ler. He served in this tour at least two 14 weeks, and so highly distinguished himself that Colonel Willett addressed him a letter 3. 14 of thanks for his services & praising him for his intrepidity - which letter I handed to said Jellis J. Fonda as Adjutant under said Colonel Willett. My personal knowledge of the services of said Jellis J. Fonda extends no farther than as before stated - Witness my hand this 28 th day of June 1833.

Sometime early in the summer of the year 1775, two companies of minute men were raised in the then township, now City of Schenectady, for the defence of the rights and liberties of America, a sort of intermediate corps between regular troops & militia, whose motto as painted on their Colours was "Liberty or Death". One of these companies, called "blues" from the color

of their uniforms was placed under the command of John Mynduse of said township; of the other company of minute men called "Greens" (from the color of their uniform), the aforesaid Jellis was appointed Captain, and served as such during said war. In the fall of the year 1775 said Jellis received a commission from the Provincial Congress appointing him Captain of the first Company of Militia of foot in the Regiment whereof Abraham Wemple was Colonel - and this deponent testifies that the commission herunto annexed dated the twentieth day of October 1775 signed by Nathaniel Woodhull President of the Provincial Congress purporting to have been given to "Jellis Ja: Fonda" is the identical commission given to said Jellis - and under which he served - and this deponent further saith that the commission also herunto annexed dated on the twentieth day of June 1778, & signed by George Clinton Governor of the state of New York appointing "Jellis Fonda" Captain of a company of Militia in the (then) County of Albany whereof said Abraham Wemple was Colonel is the identical one as this deponent verily believes given to said Jellis and under which he served, the names "Jellis Ja: Fonda" & "Jellis Fonda" being identical & intended for the same person, to wit the aforesaid Jellis.

The accompanying papers of Jellies J. Fonda were returned with the objection that inasmuch as the applicant could not testify in his own behalf, the testimony in his case should be supplied by witnesses. But here a difficulty presents itself, which operates very hardly upon Mr Fonda. Although it was very notorious that he was an active & zealous officer in the war of the revolution - was out on every emergency, yet nearly all his companions in arms have departed this life, and those who are still living, were not with him in every expedition in which he served and can only testify generally. I trust however that inasmuch as he has produced the "best evidence in his power" viz his Commissions , which & has proved his services under the same by unimpeachable testimony & has moreover produced several muster rolls & other documentary evidence (on file in your Department) that you will find no difficulty in coming to a favorable decision in his case.
The papers have been detained by me for several months in order to procure the testimony of Jellies A. Fonda, whom I have not been able to see until now. The services of the latter however having been rendered for the most part in departments of the army different from those in which

Ellis J. Fonda served, his testimony has not so much bearing on the case of the applicant as I anticipated.
